St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-07-30

The meeting at Crowley on the 23d
instant, to organize the Democratic par
ty was a grand success in more senses
than one. The large number of Demo-
Gratis assembled as we'll as the spirit
and enthusiasm exhibited showed the
deem interest taken by the masses in
tae political contest now going on in
this state AS the Pieayune remarked,
the meeting was no self-perpetuating
committee: it was genuine 0ut-pOur-
ing of the masses animated by deep
conviction of public duty and by a COM
mon purpose to perform that duty. 1t
was too a fresh expression of opinion
and feeling that came directly from the
people and emphatically against Nc
Emery and his supporters. This victory
for the Nichols party is all the more
important aad significant by reason Of
the fact that it was gained among a
people who were told that they omed
their support to the State administra-
sien, that the services rendered them 10
securing their new parish placed then
under everlasting obligations to the
governor, &c. The Aeadians were deaf
to such plausible appeals and in the
proportion OF at least two to one they
stood for Nichols and against McEnery.
OF course, strenuous efforts were made
to break up the meeting as soon as the
McEnery people discovered that they
were in the minority. Failing in this,
they resorted to the desperate expe-
sient of holding r0np convention of
their own after having taken part in
the regular mass meeting aud been
beaten on a test vote. This was styiet~
by in accordance with the settled policy
of the McEnery people. IL they can
mot rule they will try to ruin. While
they make repeated professions of
fealty to the democratic party organi
zation they have, we believe, preeon-
certed plan of getting up sufficient
number of double delegations from the
anti administrator parishes to control
the convention, should they succeed in
capturing tie preliminary organization
of that body. That can be easily done
sf such factionists as the Acadia boilers
and the self perpetuating Estilette
committee of this parish should sac
coed in getting recognition from the
State convention. The McEnery party
would then become a self-perpetuating
machine against which the people
would hopelessly struggle and from
which they could find no escape except
an political revolution.
Bon we believe that opposition to the
persoOnej and methods Of the State ring
will be so londly and strongly expressed
aby the aasaes of the people between
now and the time Cor the assembling
of the State convention that McEnery
will drop ont OF sight as. factor in tbs
pelitics Of Louisiana So.mote it be.

a NEW LEASE or LIFE.

When one has been sufering the aponies
Of severe attack Of rheumatism, neural
gia orsciatica, and relief comes, it seems as
! II q new lease OF life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings Of thousands
who, after trying physicians and numbers.
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and.
found to their great Joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
At Dubuque, Iowa, the druggists say Ath-
lophoros beats them all. We thought it
would be like many other rheumatic medi-
cines that have been put on the market,
sell for q while then gradually sink out oi
our memory. But such is not the case
with Athlophoros, instead of our sales
diminishing they increase, and what makes
us have more faith in its future mission is
that our customers come back and praise
its good work in the highest terms. Said
one druggistt to the writer: " My confidence
is SO great in Athlophoros that often sell
bottle with the understanding that if it
is not satisfactory will refund the money.
| have hever yet had to pay the money
u, back" Mrs. G. J. Alabeck, 1867 Clay
Street, Dubuque, Iowa, says: j." was SUBJ
ject to frequent attacks Of inlammatory
rheumatism and have been nearly all my
life, at times I would be almost helpless.
When I commenced with the Athlophoros
I was carrying my arm in sling, l could
not move my fingers without causing me
pain. One evening while suffering this
way heard of Athlophoros. The next day
sent for bottle. I was little afraid Of
it at first on account of the buzzing sensa-
ton it caused in my head, but it worked
like charm, the swelling and the pair
were gone, my rheumatism was we'll. /:
is now a year and half, and have moi
suffered any since"

Why Every Woman Should Array Herself
In Neat and Tasty Garments.

In Neat and Tasty Garments.
'The day will soon come," says a
well-known leader of fashion, "when il
will no longer be slur on a good wo.
man, old or young, to say she thinks q
good deal of dress; she attaches enor.
nous Importance to aesthetics" While
it remains a good motive to give Others
pleasure and spare them disagreeable
shocks, the rule must hold good in
every department of life. 1.-The day

nized duty to conceal what is offensive,
when slight deformities of limb and
skin shall be avowedly disguised by art
and great and startling deformities
shall cease to disgrace our public
streets. It is one OF the duties of life
to grease the wheels on which we drive
as far as ever that is consistent with
other duties, and most people must
judge for themselves how far that is.
lit is as easy to dress we'll as ill,
since dress we must. Absolute uncon-
sciousness as to how she looks is i'm
possible to any woman, since every eye
tells her unbidden; therefore, indiffer-
ence to appearance is inculcated. It is
natural to wish to please in all ways by
kindness and pleasant manner-or,
at least, not to displease. How deli
cately Goldsmith distinguishes his two
types of innocent and admirable wo-
manhood! Differently lovely, Olivia
was often affected from too great de-
sire to please; Sophie even repressed
excellence from her fears to offend'-
'one vanquished by single blow, the
other by efforts successfully repeated.
Every beautiful women are seldom
vain. They are so used to their own
beauty that they do not think much
about it, any more than man thinks
much about his rank or profession when
not engaged in his duties. The vain
woman is the one who has been un.
fairly disparaged. Undue self-con-
sciousness is the revolt against injustice
and like all revolts is disagreeable.
We're all women acknowledged to have
each her points, personal as well as
mental, and allowed to cultivate them
in a sensible and simple spirit there
would be less envy and malice, less
vanity and wasted time, and more in
nocent pleasure throughout life. But

BOD bufOeCCe Tells 10" conscience May
Make<Cowherds of Us All.
If there is any thing that disgusts the
tall corn and silo editor more than an
other, it is newspaper humor: Every
time he reads a pun, he loses his cud,
and once when he clipped a funny
poem and printed it in his department
thinking it was .'.Song of the Farm
er," he kicked down his manger and
was off his feed for week. One day.
he came into the, office in high good
humor. He had an egg in his pocket
as big as turnip, stock of millet
thirteen feet long the boys mad
worked over two hours splicing it
and bottle of sorghum that killed all
the cockroaches in the office. "I'll
give you something for your funny
column" said the old man, graciously,
''something that you won't 't.be ashamed
to have people read.''
'fYou needn't credit il" he went on,
as he scratched across the paper with
a quill pen that sounded like creak-
ing wagon going down hill, and that
flowed ink like an artesian. "Just put
it right in with your own; thank heaven
my reputation doesn't depend on these
things. There she is, and she's a
corker." And the ever gloomy hu-
morist read: ''No,'' said Mr.. Fuss
budget savagely, Matilda can't have
a new dress Times are hard, and Pm
going to have a tariff for revenue,
dress or no Dress "Well," said his
wife, $50 we think Matilda is go
ing to have a tear if her have a
new dress, too" There was mo-
ment of embarrassing silence, which
was broken by the silo editor:
''See? Tear if her have a new; put
it in; that'n catch 'em." The old
mans salary was to be raised the next
week and he svas assigned to the hui
morous department, but alas for the
vanity OF human schemes. That very
night he was taken deathly sick, and
the doctor said he could not live till
morning. Appalled, at the prospect Of
sudden death, he sent for the managing
editor and confessed that he had stolen
that revenue joke out of an English
paper. Thus conscience doth make
coWherds of us all, and thus the native
few of evolution are sicklied DER with
the high caste Of some one else's
thought. --Burdette, IN Brookzyn Eaqle.

About ten miles south 81 ST Joseph, No,
is an ld-fashioned log house, which has
long borne the reputation Of being haunted.
It has not been occupied since 1884 On
March IL Of that year q woman was mur-
dered in the house, aud shortly afterward
the dead body Of her brother-in-law was
found il the woods near by. On certain
nights the ghosts Of the murdered people
are said to be seen, seated before the blaz-
ing fire, apparently engaged ia deep con-
versation. Suddenly, with q loud scream,
the woman falls to the floor, and the man
rises orror-stricken to his feet. Then the
lights go out, and the room Is dark again
It is claimed that unearthly cries have been
heard at the dead Of night coming from the;
deserted spot, and the dumb animals which
have heard them have been almost over
come with fright. 5sz ='. ..5
Mrs. Holmes. OF Brooklyn, had q terrible
dream one night during the absence Of her
husband In Philadelphia She dreamed
that . telegram was brought announcing
that her husban. was dead. At the same
time appeared the butcher, the grocer and
others with bills to be paid. She was In
great distress, when her mother, who had
been dead two years, came to her and told
her that she would find q roll Of money in
her husbands old shoes. In her dream she
went to the shoes and found the money,
then awoke. Feeling nervous, she went to
light the gas, when her mothers spirit real
ly appeared and told her, that her husband
would soon die Of pneumonia. Itturned out
exactly as the ghost predicted. ss g..
A friend of Mrs Lena Reich, who was
slain by her husband at IA Norfolk street
in New York last April, has just made .
startling statement. She says that Mrs
Reich told her that, prior her marriage,
the ghost Of q former lover appeared to her
late one night. when she was alone and ad-
vised her not to larry Reic as he would
murder her. She was nervous over the
matter for timt but finally concluded to
pay no attention to the warning, and was
married. She was killed by 4 knife in the
hands Of her husband, exactly as the ghost
had foretold. r:e~ r. ,-...,
